Here is an estimative of the power output of the steam based on the video. What do you people think? Is it OK? It gives only 16Wats as the output.
http://disq.us/2bl5a3 ********************************* We, who've actually boiled water on a stove, we who've actually done any thermodynamics in the lab (or industry). We can see. That is a ½ inch (13 mm) copper tube. Its inside diameter is less than 10 mm. Using those dimensions, and a video editor, then following the turbulent features, I measure the steam maximum velocity as 14 cm/s. But hey — the invisible part is undoubtedly faster. Let's say 25 cm/s Circular volume is circular area times length of a cylinder (or rate of flow in cm/s). ( 14 cm × (3.14 × (($radius = ( 1.0 cm / 2) ↑ 2)))) = 11 cubic cm [ML] per second. Now, as I recall, I was expecting about 3120 ML/s. That makes this evolution 11/3120 … 0.35% of expected for a 4.7 KW unit. 0.35% ( 4700 ) = 16.5 watts. 16 watts Daniel, is nowhere NEAR 4,700 watts. Sure as the sun rises, this "demonstration" is bullsnot. Complete bullsnot. With that relatively tiny pipe, I'd expect a roaring plume to come out at 4,700 watts. Because, lest anyone (and especially you, since you seem kind of naïve in the ways of boiling-water physics) forget… 4,700 watts of heat is approximately 2 of the “large” coil standard kitchen range electric burners. Even ONE of those gets a remarkable amount of steam flowing from a hot-water kettle. Bullsnot. Thanks for the video. Unforgettable tripe. G O A T G U Y *************************
